No question tomlins communication skills are a major reason reason he was hired.

Tomlinson is even really good I’d say at drafting as a self proclaimed draft geek.

Where he’s not so strong is in the strategy breakdowns. I remember people talking about John gruden would break down film all fall asleep at his desk, wake up and jump right back into it. Working like 20+ hour days in the season.

That’s not going to be Tomlin. Doesn’t need to necessarily. But I personally would like more confidence at times that tomlin has thought through this stuff on game day. He clearly does not beforehand.

When Landry Jones or Josh Dobbs replaces Ben after he gets on with his life's work, the struggle will be real to keep that non-losing season streak going. Anyone who doesn't believe that is deluding themselves.

Which is utterly trivial to post on your part because all coaches struggle with shitty QBs and a lot of coaches struggle with very good QBs.

Tomlin sucks compared to Belichick and compared to everyone else is arguable better or equal.

The comments about Tomlin earning his money with a shitty QB are too dumb to take seriously. No coach has much success with shitty QBs. If you want to say Belichick does, I point you to my previous point.

Stafford comes to mind; McCarthy with Rodgers. How many playoff wins with Brees?

We should fire Tomlin and hire Zimmerman. After all, 10-2 with Keenum.

Also, I don’t think Brady gets the credit he deserves from that duo. Saying Brady is the GOAT may be an understatement.

I’m real interested to see how magical Belichick will be once Brady hangs them up.

It's amazing how many folks would cut off their noses to spite their face.

The second Roethlisberger hangs 'em up, and that time is coming way sooner than we all want to believe, this franchise is fucked.

Getting blown out by New England in the playoffs isn't good enough anymore to anyone with a working brain.

Tomlin slays the dragon, he'll get all the praise he can handle....from everybody.

Until he slays that dragon, he's just a major bullshit artist with elite offensive talent.

You're being silly. I'm sorry, but there has to be options in between "able to beat Belichick in the playoffs" and "laughingstock." How about "good coach who couldn't beat Belichick?"

And you're contradicting yourself. On the one hand you say we're going to suck when Ben retires. On the other, you say we have enough talent now that we should be able to beat New England in the playoffs. Well which is it? Who do you think, along with Colbert, oversaw the acquiring of this talent you say should be able to beat New England? If the talent is all that, then no, we're not going to be "fucked" when Ben retires.

My official position is, as it has been, that we didn't have the talent on D to compete with the Pats last year. This year, with the additions we've made, we just might. I expect a better pass rush this time around and better coverage in the secondary. Given that difference in talent from last year to this, you're going to see a different defensive coaching philosophy when we face the Pats. I believe we have a real chance against the Pats this year.

I think that nice warm seat in Fox Football TV studios will be looking really good by then

Coach Tomlin drafted the best Wr in the NFL and the best RB he rebuilt the OL and has got the defense in the 21st century. And he's never had a losing season . I'll take that along with 2 SB appearances and 1win. If we play NE with a healthy Bell we win that game last year in the playoffs. Just like all coaches he has some warts but his positives far out weigh the negatives.

Belichick went 11-5 with Casell at QB. Usually that's good enough for the playoffs, so I won't hold it against him the Pats didn't make the playoffs that year. But no one is seriously going to tell me that Belichick would have won the Super Bowl that year with Cassell at QB if they'd qualified for the playoffs, are they? Even Beilichick needs a franchise QB for that. Maybe an interesting question is how good BELICHICK will do without Brady. What has Belichick ever won without Brady?
